in my country, the vast majority of people actually have no hobbies, in fact, there is no pursuit of life may be exhausted all the strength. I don't care about retirement, I want to live in the present, the present life is my focus, of course,

, I will plan my future, but the "now" is the most important thing for me. You two old kids have made me realize how far away retirement is, that maybe the death of life is the time to retire.

Oh oh, it turns out that the chat can't exceed 420 characters, and then the two statements need to be 14 seconds apart.

Hi, I'm setting up a small Anodizing line for some custom Aluminum finishing services. I'm on Vancouver Island but still looking for a shop for it, but I have a dozen colors and Alodine aka Chem-film also. All of my services are REACH & RoHs compliant just like the EU rules no heavy metals or Cancer causing materials.

Hi! Jeff. Don Sipes in Airdrie. Last winter I made a post here about wanting to bore and hone 2 stroke cylinders. It's still something I would like to do, but for now I'm going to have someone do it for me. If your set up to do 2 stroke stuff I'll get you to do them? THANKS

I'm not sure about pistons. I see import cast pistons available but only for standard sizes, Wiseco don't list them in their current catalogue. It could be challenge! I wouldn't suggest you tool up for just one set of cylinders unless you plan to take in other work. . Jim Titmus has the tooling and did my Kawasaki 2 stroke triple. so that's an option. What's your thoughts?

Yes , I know who Jim is . It might be better to get him to do them . If I get more requests for this I'll buy the tooling

OK. I wasn't sure of your set up. Just thought I'd keep it in the Hobby Metal workers family if possible. THANKS

Here is an article about it. The long arm fastened to the bed works the same way as an adjustable stop on a drill press. It has free movement of the tool till it hits the end stop.

Ah. In the front page photo posted it's cutting an external thread. I was trying to figure out how something angled that way would stop cutting internally.
Very complex mechanically.
Thanks for passing that on.

The Bison chuck is still available. I'll check the shipping charge to Washington but I suspect that it will be high.

No known issues. Used it a couple of weeks back to mill slots in 3/8 plate for a motor mount with no issues.under power and sounds real nice.
